Reddit Admins hand /r/SnackExchange over to a moderator with no experience. Other subreddit moderators fight in comments.

This is why their moderators' best weapon is to not moderate and let all hell break loose. Reddit will then be forced to pull this shit and it'll go to hell fast. It's their best weapon, better than going NSFW or dark in protest. Just silently stop moderating and let Reddit and advertisers notice when they aren't.
I wish they had already started doing this. Once the moderators are screwed over and replaced by people who can't fill their shoes, it's already too late; those mods are probably never coming back even if Reddit wanted them to. And after the apps stop working on Saturday, the damage will already be done.
This is a good thing, the faster and harder reddit crashes, the more people will move to better platforms which are run not by corporations leaching money from entirely user created content while making the experience actively worse (long before this latest incident).
Reddit backtracking for half a year and turning up the heat slower was the worst case outcome.
True, I just miss how active Reddit was. Hopefully one day Lemmy is just as or more active than Reddit.
